I want a Nokia phone, but I don't want a Windows Phone 7 phone (because that operating system looks rather average to me) and I don't want a phone that has an operating system that is on the verge of being abandoned. So despite wanting a Nokia smartphone I can't really get one =/.

As for Bing, I can't really say much other than the WP7 implementation has been upped. Here's an overview of what it does now:
